On Thursday another piece was added to defensive coordinator Greg Blache’s unit, as the Redskins selected Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon in the third round of the 2009 NFL Supplemental Draft. Correspondingly, the team now loses their pick in that round in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Jarmon was ruled ineligible for the 2009 NCAA season after testing positive for a banned substance in February and opted for entry into the Supplemental Draft after losing an appeal in May.

In three years at Kentucky, the former second team All-SEC pick in 2007 recorded 121 tackles and 17.5 sacks. Jarmon (6’3", 318 pounds) has the right size and effort to be a solid two-way end in the Redskins' 3-4 system. He plays with good leverage, is a hard worker, and played well against the best the SEC had to offer including Bengals first-round pick Alabama OT Andre Smith.

Jarmon will need to guard against injury (shoulder problems) plus work on his agility and pass rushing moves at the next level.

Washington had their eye on Jarmon as they were spotted at his workout about a week ago. Look for the young defender to immediately work with Haynesworth and veteran DE Andre Carter.
